Short Term Cover Insurance

Short term insurance with annual policy benefits

There may be occasions when you only need a car or van insurance for a short period of time.

Sterling’s temporary car and van insurance offers the same protection and level of cover of an annual policy, and it’s brilliant value for money.

We will cover a wide variety of vehicles and drivers from all insurance groups aged 21 or over. You can also continue building your No Claims Discount, which is handy for your future insurance premiums.
